Looking for help on my build
I recently purchased a 2005 S2K. I've done a lot of looking on the web for performence parts, but a lot of them aren't that great. I was wondering if anyone knew of any awesome websites for upgrades?!?!?!

Talk about vague question....
What type of performance parts? Suspension, brakes, drivetrain, ect?
What do you mean by, "arent that great"? As far as what?

My main focus right now is getting exhaust, stage 2 clutch, short throw, racing seats, harness, and either a harness bar or a roll cage. Andy's Auto isn't too bad. A lot of them don't have a great selection of parts. Also some of the websites have the same things just for ungodly prices.

Re: Looking for help on my build
^maybe if you want to over pay for the majoriy of the parts...evasive is good for somethings, but a lot of their stuff is overpriced...case in point, they sell the 3 inch berk exhaust for 600 and thats not including shipping, im getting it from a vendor on s2ki for 525 shipped

Re: Looking for help on my build
they have always been reputable for me ...overpriced? for a matter of 100 bucks it's not worth dealing with scummy forum members or "sponsors." plus all the stuff i have bought for my s is new and not easy to come by

Re: Looking for help on my build
I'm taking a not so wild guess and going to say you didnt do much research on the S2000 because of the parts you listed and havnt figured out its not cheap to modify like a civic or integra. Why do you need a Stage 2 clutch? They dont make short throws for out car. Why do you need those "safety" items? They not necessarily make your car safer.

Want a good clutch go with a TODA Clutch Kit.
Put you mind to what you want in you car, but keep in mind if you put cheap items in to it then it will always be cheap.

Toda would be a huge waste of money, clutchmasters twin disc would be the best bet, it will feel like stock when you want it but once its heated up it will grip like no other.

Re: Looking for help on my build
My recommendation would be to upgrade your exhaust to a single exit 3 inch system (HKS, GT Motoring). It won't do so much on the power side of things just by itself, but S2000's have been shown to benefit from the larger diameter piping, and depending on your modification path down the road won't ever be an issue again. What will be at least somewhat noticeable right off the bat will be weight savings (depending on the specific type of single you go with).

Damn, crazy! Last time I looked for a short throw was when I had just bought my S2000 as a silly 19 year old.
